Forlagsbeskrivelse af Villette af Charlotte Bronte
A new edition of this classic from one of the greatest writers of the nineteenth century. Features the definitive Clarendon edition of Villette which is sourced from the earliest printings of Brontë's great work. The text is supplemented with a newly commissioned introduction, which gives a thorough and in depth analysis of the context of this fine example of the nineteenth century novel. ''I am only just returned to a sense of the real world about me, for I have been reading Villette, a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. '' George Eliot Lucy Snowe, in flight from an unhappy past, leaves England and finds work as a teacher in Madame Beck''s school in ''Villette''. Strongly drawn to the fiery autocratic schoolmaster Monsieur Paul Emanuel, Lucy is compelled by Madame Beck''s jealous interference to assert her right to love and be loved. Based in part on Charlotte Brontë''s experience in Brussels ten years earlier, Villette (1853) is a cogent and dramatic exploration of a woman''s response to the challenge of a constricting social environment. Its deployment of imagery comparable in power to that of Emily Brontë''s Wuthering Heights, and its use of comedy–ironic or exuberant–in the service of an ultimately sombre vision, make Villette especially appealing to the modern reader. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
